Yehudiya Nature Reserve (Hexagon Pools) by jadedmuse
Israelis are born nature lovers, and this is a favorite spot. The hiking around the area is relatively easy and accessible, with good parking and even a pamphlet you can pick up at the entrance. The trails follow the route of the Zavitan River and are visibly marked. One of the primary reasons to hike this area is to see the little known "Hexagon Pools" (?Brechat HaMeshushim? in Hebrew). These pools feature hexagonal formations caused by cooling of molten rock in the area, long ago.
It was December when we went there so the water was a bit too cold for my taste - but we did see a family splashing around and enjoying the day.
